Wade and I rode back with Uncle Dave and Aunt Kate. On the way back to their house, we stopped in Sidmouth where my other cousin, Jo, was vacationing with her husband Simon, and their 3 children, Catherine, Olivia and Edward. We had a great time visiting with them!

Edward really liked Wade!

Simon had fixed a quiche for lunch! Here's all of us around the table!

Merengue and berries for dessert!

Outside the house, typical English afternoon...bowls on the lawn!

We walked through town to the beach.

Catherine outside the flower shop!

Cute! Cute! Cute!

We sat on the rocks while the children played and Simon and Catherine went into the sea. Then my camera battery died, and the spare was back at the house...what a shame!!!

I think the next series of pictures are pretty funny!

I could never get them all looking at the camera!!

We had brought these shirts for the girls...and the Yankee doodle shirt Edward was wearing earlier.

Today was the windiest day of all in Bude. Fortunately it was the last day, so we had done most of the things we had wanted to do. The weather in the morning was pretty rainy and not very nice. Most of spent the mornings in the shops. It cleared up for the afternoon, but it was incredibly WINDY. Could have almost knocked us over!! We decided we would try a game of pitch and putt. (it's like mini golf, but more like real golf)

The men

After golf, I was anxious to have a real Cornish cream tea. So, we went in search and found they had them at the falcon hotel.

Tea, scones, strawberry jam, and clotted cream

For our last dinner, we had real English fish and chips. I don't know how I forgot to take pictures, but I did....
